The guide, Youssef Hamal Acham, gave us some great and complete explanations, and it was a magnificent walk.
Wonderful tour! Highly recommend! Youssef was a great guide through the Medina and many of the historic sites.
Excellent guide whom gives relaxed historical and geographical account of historic and modern rabat with good eating tips and possible activities along the way
I’m glad I went on this tour as Youssef gave a different insight into the life in the Medina, that we don’t get as tourists walking through. He shared great background information that gave context to what we were seeing. He also took us into alleys with food and produce shops that locals go to and patiently waited as we stopped everywhere and bought stuff :). Overall don’t miss out on this tour.
The perfect Rabat tour w/ the best guide! Youssef went out of his way and delivered an experience that was more than expected. It was raining (unusual for Rabat) so Youssef met us at our hotel, brought us an umbrella and even accompanied us to make sure we made it our dinner restaurant & arranged for a taxi back to the hotel - all unexpected & very appreciated! He was incredibly knowledgeable and knew exactly what info & experiences would be most meaningful - giving us delicious treats along the way. He knew all the “hidden gems” - people & places that would make the experience authentic & memorable! And his recommendations were spot on - be sure to follow them - you will be delighted! Youssef is the perfect example of Moroccan hospitality - we felt like we had known him forever and we were with a friend who was sharing his home with us! We will be back! Thank you, Youssef 😊
I had a great experience on my tour with Youssef. He was very friendly, kind, and knowledgeable about the history of Rabat.
Yousef is a great, humble, and knowledgeable tour guide. You would definitely enjoy his company throughout the tour. He has answered all our questions about the historical locations. In addition to that, you will be able to taste some Moroccan dates and sweets during the tour, which really tatse delicious. I would highly recommend this tour for others, especially since it is a night tour.
We stayed in Rabat from a Monday to Friday and had a fantastic stay. Really worth visiting. City is so clean and well maintained. We stayed in a Riad in the Medina and could not fault it. Rabat was fantastic, the old medina is such a joy to walk around, meandering through the markets. No issues from people trying to get you to buy which was great, great comfort walking around. We got a tuk tuk to the Palace and the ruins and walked back . The city is very walkable and felt very safe. We sat out having a tea on the promenade then also got a boat across the river and walked the promenade, it has newer restaurants on that side if you want a more modern feel.
Youssef is kind, articulate, patient and interesting. He showed us many sights, explaining the cultural and historical significance of each. He was happy to take extra time to show us different areas and then walked us back to our hotel, in the medina, so we didn’t get lost. This was a wonderful introduction to a very beautiful city. I highly recommend booking this tour.
This was a fantastic tour. I booked very last minute and Youssef was accommodating and reached out to me quickly over WhatsApp to confirm. He also sent a great list of places to see and where to eat, which was really helpful. The tour itself was well timed and we saw a lot without it feeling too long. It was really interesting and Youssef was a great guide. I learned a ton and would recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you, Youssef!
